So buckle up and enjoy the ride and contribute! That is the message I convey to South Africans. It is not for nothing that South Africa has the highest ratio of repeat visitors of all long-haul destinations.

Just 15 South African companies account for one million private sector jobs, but in most cases the number is stagnant or declining. The same is not true of public sector employment, which is up a quarter over the last decade.

The 2014/15 tax filing season is about to start, and it’s important that all personal income tax returns are completed accurately and timeously.
Not everyone is aware that the SA Revenue Service (Sars) is focusing on seven specific areas until the 2016/17 financial year, which is when its five-year compliance programme ends. We encourage all individual taxpayers to take extra care during the upcoming filing season to ensure the completion and submissions of all personal income tax returns are done accurately and timeously. Signing your income tax return is a declaration that all the information you have submitted is true and correct.
